Indictment, revolt, rebellion. One Thousand Ways to Skin It reveals various styles of performance-based music videos as self-empowerment against entrenched expectations and binary templates of representation, against visible and invisible forms of violence. In the absence of elaborate settings and using everyday locations, the simplicity of the staging creates forms of expression for social and subjective moods. Vulnerability, discomfort, anger, lust: Feelings cast their skin and make other versions of themselves emerge. Performance as a form of play between what is and what we imagine. When Kim Gordon’s daughter Coco Gordon-Moore reclaims her space by performing a radical liberation dance, it also becomes a piece of feminist pop history. Or when the fake rock band FrontMan lustily dissects frontman behaviour, rock star posturing and stage clichés, and Sadie Benning and Kathleen Henna dismantle the cynical mechanisms of the American music industry 25 years earlier. Tilly and Sally belong to the first generation of Nasty Girls in film, whose gleefully anarchic behaviour demands free expression. Bodies in Motion. Animation and Abstraction. You are all invited to Tilly’s Party!
